Maintenance
Quick Cable crimpers are factory lubricated with low friction, high temperature,
synthetic lubricant. Additional lubrication may be required for very high usage tools.
Simply add two or three drops of #30 weight oil to each pivot point. Circulate the oil
by opening and closing the tool several times.
Replacement Parts
Dies, springs, snap rings and hardened hex pins are all available, just ask your distributor.

General Safety
1. Batteries produce hydrogen gas which could explode if there is a spark near the battery.
Never work leaning over a battery. Do not have a flame near a battery. Do not smoke.
Wear eye protection.
2. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is corrosive
and lead which is poisonous. Many battery
connectors are made of lead or have a lead coating.
Wash your hands thoroughly after installation. Do
not allow children to play with batteries, battery
cables or connectors.
1. Using the chart on the tool, determine the proper die setting for the gauge of cable and
style of connector. Fig. 1
2. To select the dies, push the die pivot pins from the spring side and rotate both dies to the
proper setting. Releasing the pivot pins locks the dies in place. Fig. 2
3. Strip cable insulation 3/4" for copper tube lugs so that the bare conductor seats fully in the
connector. If you are using heat shrink tubing, slide it over the cable before applying the
connector. Fig. 3
4. Open tool and position connector in crimp dies. Fully close dies for proper crimp. Fig. 4
5. Crimp a minimum of 1/8" in from the barrel end. Fig. 5
6. For best results, protect each termination with Quick Cable heat shrink tubing. Fig. 6

Ratchet Option
The ratchet mechanism is designed to ensure the best possible crimped connection. The
ratchet mechanism requires the operator to complete the full crimp before it will release. If
required, the ratchet mechanism can be disengaged by moving the release pawl (see picture)
towards the handle.
